Because the other tenet of amateur radio is experimentation—the first
being communication.

Hello everybody,
I was wondering if there is an Amsat-BB archive for the years 1990-1998.
Now we can read only from 1998.
Is there any forward-looking guy out there that has such an archive on
his PC?
thanks!

Is the guide available from the government printing office???

I have a friend who is also a ham who teaches physics in high school. There
is such pressure on teachers to teach students for standardized tests like
MCAS, Regents, SAT's, etc. that they have little time to do much else. It's
quite sad as that certainly hurts the ability to inspire.
We are hearing some interesting things from CAPE, one of the Cubesats from
Wallops. We are hearing 1 minute AX.25 telemetry, and we have heard two

I took my electronics students to the top floor of the Advanced Technology
Center at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, NJ to see the launch.
The elevation was a lot higher than I expected. The flares that occurred
between rocket stages got some of the most O's. :-)
Very cool.
Nice,
I wish we could flatten the earth a little so we could watch it from
Winnipeg, Manitoba. Now it is actually Winterpeg here (brrr cold).
Maybe, maybe CSA will at one point activate the Churchill launch site
again. Now it is overrun by polar bears :-)
Great experience! Glad you did it.
Hi Art,
Now I'm a little confused by your comment that most Cubesats are
licensed as experimental. On yesterdays Minotaur launch, 17 Cubesats are
operated by Amateurs and were coordinated through the IARU.

I parked alongside one of the runways at Logan Airport last night, and watched

FYI: All US operators using 472-510 KHz (so
called 600 meter band) are operating with
experimental licenses. Several countries have
already approve ham radio for parts of this
